Building Web Applications

- Embedded web application demands multiple disciplines of expertise

A web application is platform-independent, as browsers run on many platforms, such as Windows, Unix, and Mac. Web clients are also available for PDAs and cell phones. An embedded web-management system not only delivers CLI-equivalent functionality with an intuitive GUI interface, but also offers many product advantages. However, it also presents development challenges different from other embedded code.

Developing an effective embedded web management system requires a unique blend of visual design and technical skills. In addition, there are engineering aspects, such as a UI delivery mechanism, authentication methods, web testing, application footprint, runtime memory size, and memory leak detection. These require evaluation and engineering decisions to ensure the successful delivery of an embedded web management application.
